Storyline: Whatever happens, one team will walk away with their first championship. For the Panthers, a win would be unquestionably the biggest in program history. It would make them the first NJIC champion since Waldwick's 1995 team and make last year's controversial semifinal loss just a footnote in their story. A victory for the Rams would cap off a magical ride -- one that already includes six wins by a goal -- and serve as a poetic tribute four months after the loss of athletic director Jim Grasso. The championship game might also be a sneak preview for November as Ramsey and Glen Rock are seeded first and second respectively in North 1, Group 2.

Players to watch: Ramsey's Brian Miller and Glen Rock's Ben Zakowski are the stars of the show and seem to have a knack for big goals. Zakowski has seven goals in four postseason games, including the overtime dagger against Don Bosco. Nick Rogers and Connor Daly control the Panthers' midfield and outside defender Mark Buckel facilitates play from the back. The veteran-laden Rams have a number of good role players including Sean Connolly and Kyle Smilon as well as Kieran Francis, who gives them a jolt off the bench. Miller recently referred to Zach Peters as "one of the best defenders in the county" and the numbers certainly back it up.

How they got here: Ramsey earned a trio of hard-fought wins, knocking off Pascack Valley (2-1 in overtime), St. Joseph (3-1) and Waldwick (3-2). Glen Rock has been impressive with victories over Lyndhurst (6-0), Don Bosco (2-1 in overtime), NV/Old Tappan (4-1) and Paramus (1-0).
